1. Damn straight.

They can buy their own cold quarter pounders. 🤣

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Wouldn't it REALLY piss off Trump

Wouldn't it REALLY piss off Trump if Obama and Michelle had them all over for a sit down dinner at the Obama's house......
AND THEY ALL CAME??????????

[brush]

32. Someone mention her name, pls.

[MontanaMama]

33. Megan Rapinoe.

Badass American Woman.

[Maraya1969]

2. What do they do?

[lunatica]

10. Women's soccer

[Still In Wisconsin]

11. They are in all likelihood going to win the World Cup.

As Joe Biden would say, that's a big f*cking deal.

[a kennedy]

15. They have to get by France on Friday......and it's not going to be easy.

[Still In Wisconsin]

19. I agree. Won't be easy.

But, like I said, my money's on the US in this one.

[Enoki33]

43. Two teams that are under rated are Italy and Germany.

[GulfCoast66]

34. I don't agree. France has owned them lately

And playing in France? Now I bet the crowd is 40% Americans and I will be pulling for them.

But it is a tall order to win this game.

The European clubs have been dumping tons of money into female football. The games have been very fun to watch.

[VWolf]

36. Fun fact

All 8 round of 16 matches featured a European side vs a non-European side. 7 of them were won by the Europeans. The exception was the US over Spain.

And the US looked very ordinary against Spain, perhaps because they were looking ahead to the quarterfinals. In any case, FRA-USA will be epic.

[demmiblue]

3. She is a badass woman.

[Moostache]

4. 'pinoe for the win!

One of my favorite players (and people) on an exceptional team of American women that are amazing across the board.

I spent the entirety of yesterday's match with Spain hiding out in my office streaming the live webcast of the game so I could see it...probably have to do the same on Friday as well!

Megan Rapinoe delivered the pass on the greatest last second score I have ever seen (years ago...2011 WWC I believe in the quarterfinal against Brazil) on her volley to Abby Wambach...great delivery, clutch finish, awesome players...still gets me everytime I see it!

[mcar]

7. It was a nerve wracking match

She was great, as usual.

[cwydro]

17. I heard he went after her on twitter.

No idea why.

Anyone have a link?

[Moostache]

21. Anthem protests...

Rapinoe does not sing the anthem nor place her hand over her heart...FIFA does not allow on-field kneeling during any anthems, so she had to stop taking a knee (I believe...)

[cwydro]

22. Oh ok.

I should have figured that out.

[pazzyanne]

24. So what! The pResident doesn't know the words

and doesn't place his hand over his heart unless Melania gives him the elbow!

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. I remember that one well.

Maybe the greatest goal in US footballing history, men or women? I think so.

[Moostache]

23. Only other one in the discussion to me is Donovan against Algeria to go through...

That was 2010 South Africa World Cup, but it was group stage to get to the knock-out round and the header from Wambach was in the quarters and prevented the earliest exit in WWC history for the USWNT...

This was special though:

And the collected reactions are priceless:

[Pacifist Patriot]

37. I am fortunate to have a huge monitor on the wall of my office opposite my desk.

I know exactly what will be on that screen on Friday.

[certainot]

41. wow

[redstatebluegirl]

5. Orange menace would not know what to do with this strong woman.

She would scare the hell out of him.

[smirkymonkey]

12. I would love to see her take him on!

She would kick his flabby, orange ass!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. She'd probably make him a eunuch

If he tried anything funny.

[redstatebluegirl]

30. It wouldn't take much.

[llmart]

6. OMG! That's terrific!

However, I sort of wish she'd go and kick his yellow bellied ass from here to eternity. He'd shit his drawers if he saw her coming at him.

I'm sure "she's not his type".

[Buns_of_Fire]

29. (In other words, "GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!) nt

[Cousin Dupree]

8. They play France in the finals on Friday.

[rurallib]

9. Quarter finals - there is a bit to go before they win

[Still In Wisconsin]

13. Yep. When you get to this stage anyone you play is very good.

Still, my $$ is on the US.

[pwb]

14. Who wants cold fast food?

?

[DFW]

18. I'd be glad to go back there

As soon as there is someone I can respect in residence, that is.

[Bleacher Creature]

26. She was my favorite player on the team even before today.

Her vision and knowledge of the game are second to none and she's a so vital to everything the team is trying to accomplish. Today's events only make me like her even more!

[democratisphere]

27. Love her Sass.

[dem4decades]

31. I was not a fan when they celebrated the 13 goals against Thailand

But i'm all in now. I hope the win the whole thing and shove the invitation up Trump's ass.

[GulfCoast66]

35. I've got to respond!

In the men’s World Cup in Brazil Germany decimated the home team Brazil 8-1 in front of a crying home audience. Every single goal was celebrated and this was the team with veteran players used to playing and winning at the highest levels.

Germany never called off the dogs, and never stoped trying to score. It is perhaps the most devastating beat down in World Cup history. Brazil was favored to win.

I didn’t read one single article about how Germany acted poorly or should have laid off the Brazilians.

I ask you, what’s the difference? In my opinion, aggressive women make too many people nervous.

If you bring a shitty team to the World Cup expect to get rolled. No one has ever debated that in men’s football.

[happy feet]

42. [phone]

So sick of hearing criticism of the women's team (several World Cups under the belt) and to add insult to injury---they're woefully underpaid compared to the men's team which didn't even qualify into the World Cup and has never really advanced.

[GulfCoast66]

45. Yeah, right! If the men's team ever makes the semi's,

They would dominate the news. And if the beat down a shitty team 13-0 it would be held up as a sign of their domination.

Maybe the men’s team will actually make the World Cup next time.

And as an aside...I am not soccer fanatic. But it looks to me like the US women are way more technically astute than the US men. Their passes actually go where they want them to.

But you know, we 53 year old southern white guys are just biased that way!

[Wounded Bear]

38. Obama always acted like having champion teams visit was to honor them...

Trump just wants the show to pump his ratings.

Trump wants to claim he has something to do with the team's success.

[triron]

39. Hell yes.

[fishwax]

40. love the video

[SkyDaddy7]

44. Another Reason to Love Her!!

Go USWNT!! ...World Cup #4!!
